Nikola Jokic to receive first Michael Jordan trophy, awarded to the league's Most Valuable Player

The NBA announced today six newly designed end of the year trophies that will be awarded beginning this year, but also with a little twist. Here are the six trophies the NBA announced:

The Michael Jordan Trophy: given to the league's MVP

The Jerry West Trophy: awarded to the Clutch Player of the Year (new award)

The Hakeem Olajuwon Trophy: Defensive Player of the Year

The Wilt Chamberlain Trophy: Rookie of the Year

The John Havlicek Trophy: Sixth Man of the Year

The George Mikan Trophy: Most Improved Player of the Year

All of these new trophies will be handed out at the end of the season and will also be given to the winners of last seasons awards, which means the Michael Jordan Trophy will be presented to Nikola Jokic for winning league MVP.
